Holy Moses has been around since 1980, amazingly, and is still putting
out quality thrash (not like some other 80s thrash bands I could name).
This album is their first classic, though. It's got that Teutonic
brutality we all know and love, but it's ramped up here from Destruction
or Sodom. Seriously, this is some brutal old-school thrash. A listen to
the title track will tell you that. The riffing is tight and heavy, all
the instruments are tight but just loose enough to get that rough edge.
Killer riffs here. This is more straightforward and brutal than some of
their "newer" albums like Disorder of the Order - it's going to beat
your head in and you're going to love it.

From
the opening slow powerful plod of the title song Headless Cross, to the
catchy Devil and Daughter, to the epic ballad of When Death Calls
(starts off melancholy and depressing, and then crescendos into a
powerful rock ballad that stays with you), all the way to Black Moon and
Nightwing, this album is one of the best "lost treasures" of the Black
Sabbath legacy.Yes, it gets a little slow with the Kill in the
Spirit World and Call of the Wild, but it's definitely a solid album
with Tony Martin singing the lead. Just a beautiful album all around
with some very memorable lyrics and melodies that kind of got left
behind in the wake of Ozzy and Ronnie James Dio. I added a CD single
from 1989 including ''Headless Cross (Edit)''. Enjoy...!!!

Author Notes : After
Warlord Bill Tsamis created a project with name Lordian Winds and
recorded some demos for the My Name Is Man release.But never
released.Some songs re-recorded and used on next band of Tsamis
"Lordian Guard" .In some blogs these demos named as Warlord-1982
Lordian Winds demos,but i believe that are Lordian Winds-My Name Is
Man.

INFO : Recorded Live 10.06.1989 in Braunschweig, Germany and 17.06.1989 in Lübeck, Germany. Recorded by the band and released unofficially as a live promo tape,
available as "Live Guardians '89" and "Majesty '89" bootlegs.

This is the first Uriah Heep disc to feature current Heep vocalist
Bernie Shaw. Raging Silence still found the band in search of the
increasingly elusive commercial success. Like Abominog, Raging Silence
was essentially a Foreigner-style AOR album full of radio-friendly
melodic rockers.

Riot's 4th release with a change in vocals doesnt miss a beat ! This
is a rocking album and a heavy metal attack! Its just incredible that
such greatness was denied us by our American record companies at the
time, who were simply being lead in various different dirrections at the
time. American style heavy metal was just not a priority during the
period, and so much good stuff just got left out. Riot was truly a great
band and should have been better promoted here in the states. Given
that opporuntity I believe that they would have more than held their own
up against any of the new wave british heavy metal bands and ( forgive
me for saying this because I do love the glam big hair genre) held off
the changing music scene.

Their first Hollywood gig was at the Troubadour where they were
setting attendance records playing the midnight slot on Sunday nights.
They also played at The Whiskey, and The Roxy. Hollywood loved Angeles.
They became one of L.A.’s largest Indie bands of the 80’s. They
performed at Devonshire Downs outdoor stadium to over 6,000 people. In
1984, Angeles performed at the Reseda Country Club, appearing with Bon
Jovi. They have also shared a stage with Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Ratt,
Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Ronnie James Dio.

I am Back, but... (UPDATE)

Hello All Again!

I am still back and, as you may have seen, I have posted some new albums. Currently I am busy to repair broken links, it will be a bit of a slow process but ongoing. As I did before the new links will be announced in the Repaired Links notice below.

I have to mention that a Metal visitor named Filosofia Para todos found a bunch of dead links and reported those at the Dead Links page. Thanks Metal bro! That being said, if you find any broken links, please report those at the Dead Links page and not at the post comments. This will make it a bit easier for me to repair links. Thank you for understanding :)
